The way the tower seems to pierce through the dark sky is striking, Eddie. Did you use any filters to get that smooth gradient in the background?
Eddie
Hello Lumo,
I’ve used a gradient filter and I’m working in 10-bit mode with a graphics card on an Eizo monitor, which allows me to achieve a wide grey scale and excellent smoothing on the gradients.

The use of a gradient filter definitely enhances the depth of the image, Eddie. Are you planning to apply any further adjustments to highlight specific architectural details?
Eddie
No, because I’ve reached the end of this project. After that, Fine Art should take over, but unfortunately, that’s beyond my current skills.

The composition is strong, Eddie. Did you use a tripod for this shot to ensure sharpness?
Eddie
No, it was taken handheld because the conditions were tricky – there wasn’t enough distance. And the weather was ideal because it was overcast, with no reflections from clouds or sunlight on the glass surfaces.

The lack of reflections really helps to emphasize the building's sleek design, Eddie. Do you have any tips for capturing sharp handheld shots in challenging conditions?
Eddie
A steady position, a very firm grip on the camera and a wide aperture with an ISO setting of around 200 ISO

Good technique, Eddie. The image is clean and striking. Keep up the great work!
